STOP!
At that point, the ball is dead, the runner who was obstructed while retreating to 3B is awarded 3B, and the other runners go to 2B and 1B.
If this was ASA, the umped erred by awarding the obstructed runner home. He should have placed her at 3B, as she was obstructed going back to 3B. I assume Fed is the same, but I might be wrong.

Fed was different a few years ago - 3, maybe - but changed their obstruction award to match ASA's.
